NEW! IASI December  Webinar: Trauma-Informed Skills - Practical Ways to use the Polyvagal Theory (PART 2) -Rescheduled to Thursday, January 23, 2020.

Healing requires a safe and trustful relationship between the client and therapist. We will experience and effectively use our own nervous system therapeutically, in order to develop specific clinical techniques to work with stress and trauma symptoms. We will be introduced to new SI Assessment Tools in order to demonstrate how to work with the Fight-Flight-Freeze Structures. 

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding the Polyvagal System and its application to the healing process
• Discovering why the client-therapeutic relationship is so fundamental  
• Detailing exercises in working with the neuroception of safety. 
• Exploring the possibilities for regulating the ANS and protocol in dealing with stress & trauma symptoms.
